    White Sox maul Rangers 19-2

    (Reuters) - The Chicago White Sox left the Texas Rangers battered and bruised on Tuesday after mauling Major League Baseball's top team 19-2.

    Kevin Youkilis hit a home run in the first inning, his first since being traded to Chicago from the Red Sox last week, and finished with four RBIs.

    The home team had three first-inning homers and 21 hits in the lopsided series opener between division leaders.

    "It was a great night," Youkilis told reporters. "It was awesome just to get that huge lead and letting (starter Chris Sale) do his job out there. Couldn't ask for a better start to the homestand."

    Chicago scored four runs in the first inning, three in the second and nine in the fifth en route to a 19-0 lead to torment Texas (50-31) pitcher Roy Oswalt, who surrendered 11 runs in 4 2/3 innings of his third start since joining the Rangers in May.

    All Star Sale fared much better on the mound for the White Sox (43-37), allowing just one run in 7 1/3 innings to improve to 10-2 on the season.

    The Rangers came into the game on a high after recently having seven players named to the July 10 All Star game, but the good feelings ended with their worst defeat of the season.

    "We got the ball over the plate, they didn't miss," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "They came out swinging the bat. Just couldn't stop their offense."

    Texas still leads the American League West by five games while the White Sox have a two-game edge in the AL Central.

      Best thing the Sox ever did was to get rid of Ozzie.

      I'm one of those die-hard fans of the Northsiders, but lemme tell ya, I'm likin' the Sox more and more with every passing day.

        If you're a die hard Northsider and liking the Sox more and more everyday then maybe...just maybe, it's time to leave the misery of the Northside. The Cubs have no chance and won't have a chance for years.That's 104 years to be exact.

        GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK

        I despise the Cubs, however this year I feel it is simply unfair to pick at their corpse. Hoping they can ride a fart into the playoffs and get swept out again. Something about the hope, and the crash from it.

        Go Sox!!!

      So glad we demolished Oswalt!

      After he made it so clear a few years back that he wouldn't pitch for the Sox no matter what if we traded for him...

      Oswalt - 3 starts - hits per start 9-13-13. Runs per start 0-7-9. Enough said. Don't drink the first start Kool-Aid folks.
      I could throw it up there like this guy and I'll only take $1,000,000. Same results.
      Come on Dutch, we need ya soon buddy.
